Famagusta tour and Blue Lagoon cruise with lunch

4.4/5
345 reviews

Unlock all the secrets of Cyprus by both land and sea. By road, you'll visit the old town of Famagusta and the ‘ghost town' of Varosha. Then, by sea, there's time to chill out on a relaxing cruise to the Blue Lagoon.

Travelling in an off-road vehicle, you'll pass through the UN buffer zone to the northern part of the island. Your first stop will be a walk through the deserted streets of Varosha, which was once a popular beach resort.

Afterwards, you'll head to Famagusta old town, where you can explore the Venetian city walls, its collection of church ruins, or the Gothic cathedral turned mosque. Finally, you'll trade exploration for relaxation with a boat cruise to the Blue Lagoon, where there's lunch on board and plenty of time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe.

    Collected by tour guide George Michael, he was charasmatic, friendly and engaging as well as being knowledgeable about the area. The drive and walk round Famagusta was really emotional and interesting. The boat tour was in the afternoon with lunch provided, which as nice and well organised. There were two opportunities to get off the boat into the sea, either via steps, jumping in or using the slide. The water was so lovely clear and warm.

One of the best all-around guides we’ve ever had since we’ve been here very knowledgeable very friendly. Highly recommend to have him next time on any tour as we go, he needs to a big pay rise. THANK YOU GEORGE 🫶👍

    This excursion is the perfect balance of history, site seeing and fun. Walking through Varosha is surreal experience and very sad, the beach area is beautiful and you could easily imagine the bustling holiday resort it once was. Farmagusta old town is beautiful and steeped in history. The second half of the day on the boat is very relaxing, the lunch was delicious which came with a complimentary wine or juice, the rest of the drinks were very reasonably priced. The swim stops were perfect.

    Picked up on time, our guide George Micheal was brilliant, gave us lots of information, his father lived in Famagusta before 1974. Looked after us very well all day. The afternoon boat trip was good fun, lunch simple but very nice. Enjoyed the swim stops, one in the bay opposite our hotel. Party boat on way back. All the staff were very friendly. A good day out with a good mixture of history in morning and fun in afternoon.
